Subject: aging (cigars, not smokers)
I've been a cigar smoker for abut 10 years, and, honestly, haven't noticied the big advantages so many of us report here resulting from aging off cigars. Until now. I bought a box of those inexpensive yellow band Dominican Cohibas about a year or so ago, smoked a couple, and found them bitter and harsh, and a poor burn. So, having relagated them to the back of the humidors, they sat next to the monte's and ashtons. I'm definetly no expert on what transpired, but I can tell you as I sample this relic, that the aging deal does make a huge difference in this particular cigar. I strongly recommend aging those yellow band Dominican Cohibas................................................What is the advantage of aging? Is it for the dog rockets to (hopefully) get better? Is it for your premiums to get even that much better? Are there certain sticks that you would recommend to put away for that special occassion *kids graduation, wedding reception, winning the lottery, etc...* or what's the deal? I did a search already.
